See recipe card for quantities.

🥣 Instructions

To begin, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.

Mix the dry ingredients together to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil and applesauce.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.

Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, distributing them evenly.

Divide the batter into 8 individual muffin cups.

Pressing the thick batter down into each case so that they are properly filled.

Bake in the preheated oven for around 18-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool before enjoying!

Hint: Do not over-mix the matter as this will squash the delicate berries.

💫 Substitutions

For those with nut allergies, consider using sunflower seed flour as an alternative to almond flour.

If you do not have fresh blackberries to hand you can substitute for any fresh or frozen berry. If using frozen, thaw the berries and drain off any excess liquid first.

💕 Variations

For added texture and flavour, you can top the muffins with a crumble made from coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and a dash of cinnamon, or a drizzle of coconut butter.

🥡 Storage

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature or preferably in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. In fact, I actually prefer the texture of these cold from the fridge!

These muffins can easily be frozen too! Simply thaw before eating.
